The Vanishing High School Students, Part 2

Page created Nov 29, 2012; last updated Nov 29, 2013Here are more examples of student attrition from the nationwide Gulen charter school chain, a chain that often advertises its "100% graduation" and "100% college admission" rates.

The following three graphs are for Beehive Science and Technology Academy in Utah. The Utah State Office of Education reported Beehive's graduation rate in 2010 as 11% and its dropout rate as 60%. On Jan 10, 2013, the Salt Lake Tribune reported that Beehive had a 26% graduation rate in 2012, apparently the lowest for any charter school in the state.
